Prior to and upon adoption of, any resolution which commences formal annexation proceedings, the council shall refer the zoning of the affected territory for report and recommendation of the planning commission. The commission shall hold a public hearing on the matter, and report to the council its considerations and findings, making such recommendation for zone classification as it may agree upon by a majority vote of its membership. The council shall also hold a public hearing on the matter of zoning, which may be held in conjunction with any public hearing on the question of annexation. Following such hearing, and after receipt of the planning commission report, the council shall determine the proper zoning, and concurrently with the ordinance of annexation the council shall classify the annexed territory.
